Norden is a suburb within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale, in Greater Manchester, England. Historically part of Lancashire, the village is situated on the western edge of Rochdale. There is a Rochdale Ward with the same name. At the 2011 Census this ward had a population of 9,766.[1]

As a result of changes to boundaries, Norden ward is divided between Heywood and Middleton and Rochdale constituencies, represented in Parliament by Liz McInnes (of the Labour Party) and Simon Danczuk (also of the Labour Party).

The main road through the village is the A680 Edenfield Road, which runs from Rochdale town centre to the village of Edenfield in Lancashire.
